19 Eyebrows as Famous as the Men Who Own Them

Good eyebrows are mostly genetic — plucking will clean things up, but it can only do so much. And no two pairs are alike for the same reason: Drake’s bushy brows might look good on him, but they’d seem funny on John Boyega’s face; Boyega’s magnificently arched, ultra-friendly brows would detract from Drake’s bad-boy cred, and so on. We hope you have two reactions to brows-ing this gallery: a newfound appreciation for geometry, and gratitude that we included exactly zero unibrows.

Daniel Radcliffe

Bryce Harper

If he were an actor, Harper’s eyebrows would land him a role as a sinister villain. The Washington Nationals right fielder has an intimidating outer arch; we sympathize with any pitcher who squares off with the slugger.

Zachary Quinto

Handsome eyebrows seem requisite for being cast in a blockbuster space franchise. We can’t help but think that Zachary Quinto’s sealed the deal for him in the role of Spock for the Star Trek franchise. (But his acting’s pretty good, too.)

Eugene Levy

Steven Yeun

Notice how all the hair on Yeun’s face looks like a perfectly coordinated ensemble; the wispy Van Dyke beard pairs nicely with his light brows. And of those brows: Sure, The Walking Dead star could have plucked the upper half of the outer arch but it gives him a certain presence, which probably came in handy when he was facing down zombies.

Dave Franco

Jesse Eisenberg

The Now You See Me star’s eyebrows could star in their own spinoff: Eisenberg’s brows, so thin at the ends that they practically disappear, give him a warmth that keeps landing him in those endearing protagonist roles.

Drake must “Take Care” of his thick brows; they look like a painter’s perfectly graduated brushstroke, and strongly complement his dark beard and mustache.

Radcliffe’s brows fan inward, yet they’re manicured around the perimeter. They’re a good pairing with his short scruff and textured hair.

Rodrigo Santoro stars in of one of TV’s hottest shows (HBO’s Westworld, ever heard of it?), and he’s got some of Hollywood’s most handsome brows, too. They’re understated, drawing attention to his dark brown eyes.

As evidenced here, Jason Schwartzman can grow amazing hair pretty much everywhere. His brows, aka those two glorious fuzzy rainbows, are no exception.

We almost put Josh Hartnett in this spot, but TLJ is his long lost twin, and the acting legend’s caterpillar brows have garnered far more screen time.

Zayn Malik

Oscar Isaac

John Boyega has the complete opposite—although equally good-looking—eyebrows of Star Wars’ co-star Isaac. Boyega’s are less bushy and perfectly arched, giving him a perma-friendly gaze.

There’s nothing recessed about the new MacGyver star: His hairline and those blonde genes are ever dominant. In a field dominated by dark-browed men, Till’s blondeness is a subtle ray of light.

Eugene Levy’s brows are so legendary they probably have their own publicist. He’s passed on the genes to son Daniel, too.

Tyson Beckford will look better at 80 than the rest of us look at 20. We credit his wide-arched eyebrows. (In addition to the other godlike features.)

You could see Marty’s eyebrows from space. Those thick frames are no match for Hollywood’s fuzziest, furrowed-est auteur.

Somebody won the bone structure lottery. Cavill’s eyebrows accent his shapely face; they’re none too manicured, but they help frame one steely stare.

Dave Franco might soon be a bigger star than older brother James, but nothing will ever be bigger than his eyebrows. They’re awesomely enormous—five stars!
